How to Use Header and Footer Blocks in the Email Builder

Add and customise header and footer blocks in the Email Builder to keep your campaigns brand-aligned and compliant with email marketing best practices.

The Header and Footer blocks in the Email Builder allow you to create a consistent and professional look across all your email campaigns. These blocks typically include essential elements like your logo, navigation links, contact details, and unsubscribe options. By customising your headers and footers, you ensure that your emails are both brand-aligned and compliant with email marketing best practices. You can add both your header and footer by dragging them into your design from the content tab:
